- This northern Michigan program hopes to cultivate the next generation of farmers
The Great Lakes Incubator Farm in Traverse City, Michigan, offers a seven-month training program for aspiring farmers to address challenges like high costs, land access, and climate change. Participants learn regenerative agriculture practices and business planning, with produce distributed to local buyers and food rescue operations rather than seeking profit.
